| |
| <p>From CDT 4.0 its possible to create projects based upon templates defined by the IDE supplier. What this means is |
| that you can easily create a project which contains customized source code and is ready for use in a few clicks. Some |
| aspects of the generated project may be customized by the user as part of the new project wizard.</p> |
| |
| <p>To create a project from a template:</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| |
| <li>Click <strong>File > New > C Project</strong> or <strong>File > New > C++ Project</strong>. |
| <br> |
| <br> |

| <br> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>The wizard will open as shown below.<br> |
| Expand the project type that you are interested in. For more information on project types, see <a href="cdt_t_proj_platf.htm">Selecting a |
| project type</a> This shows the template projects that you can use as a basis |
| for your new project. CDT comes with some simple templates, but ISVs can add further templates by using the |
| <em>org.eclipse.cdt.core.templates</em> extension point.<br> |
| In the <strong>Project Name</strong> box, type a name. The example uses "HelloWorld" |
| <br> |

| <br> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Click <strong>Next</strong>.</li> |
| <li>The next page is dependent on the type of template you selected. It will consist of a number of input fields, maybe with |
| default values, that will be fed into the template you create. |

| <br> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>This last page "Select Configurations" can be skipped, or allows further project configuration in the same way as non-template-based projects. |
| <br> |

| <br> |
| </li> |
| <li>To create your project, click <strong>Finish</strong>. |
| |
| <li>In the Project Explorer you will see that the new project has been created. You will see that the source file has |
| been customized with the values you entered earlier in the wizard. |

| |
| <li>Sometimes values you enter into the template wizard will be remembered between sessions in order that you do not |
| need enter them each time. If you want to change these you can use <strong>Window > Preferences > C/C++ > Template Default Values</strong> |
